This day will already go down in Gay History as one of the most impactful in recent memory. In 24 short hours, we’ve witnessed the death of a monarch, the birth of Trisha Paytas’s baby, and now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for since our first teenage Rocky Horror viewing.
That’s right: Legendary actress Susan Sarandon came out as bisexual on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The “Monarch” star and longtime LGBTQ+ advocate casually announced that she swings both ways while promoting her new series.
I know there’s a lot going on today but let’s not lose sight of this https://t.co/qjpuBigu5n

You might be thinking to yourself…wait, what? The woman who force-femmes Tim Robbins in Bull Durham is bisexual? The woman who starred in the canon bisexual villain origin story-cum-classic musical Rocky Horror Picture Show is sexually fluid? Apparently, yes. This is not a drill. And apparently, she’s been casually out for years. Years, people!
